It's going to 'drop' at $385 which is a lot, but it is lighter than a Campy carbon, and you can run a 46/30 on it.

I'm profoundly tempted to try a set.

I am "in" when they have a 175 set. I am not knocking it. I will buy one in a "New York Minute" in 175.

I think if I was going to get a Roadeo I would try this crankset out, I like the way it looks and like how it only has one BCD.  Maybe something for the future.

Quite a beaut. Now to start saving my $$ to buy it. Price seems reasonable for something produced in smaller batches. A little more than an ugly Ultegra!
I wonder if it will come stock with 46-30 chainrings?

my understanding it will come with ANY pair of chainrings you want.  Even tooth increments from 24 to 48 or maybe 50?

It's cheaper by far than Record or Dura Ace and a helluvalot prettier!
But I think the latest Record with bb is 135 g lighter than the Herse
- cum- SKF bb, per Jan's measurements.
